Definitions
- the invention relates to a piezo actuator, in particular for actuating a mechanical component, for example for an injection injector for metering fuel in an internal combustion engine, according to the generic features of the main claim.
- a piezo element can be constructed from a material with a suitable crystal structure.
- an external electrical voltage is applied, there is a mechanical reaction of the piezo element which, depending on the crystal structure and the contact areas of the electrical voltage, represents a push or pull in a predeterminable direction.
- injection nozzles or valves for fuel metering of an internal combustion engine have pressure or control bolts which have high pressures and fast and precise reaction times desire.
- Such an injection device is described, for example, in “Kraftfahrtechnisches Taschenbuch”, VDI Verlag 1987, 20th edition, pages 391, 392.
- the piezo actuator is used to open and close the needle m of the injection nozzle, the assembly of the entire system being quite complex is and requires high accuracy.
- a particular difficulty with the known arrangement is to align the piezo actuator in the center to form a head piece and a foot piece and to hold these parts together in such a way that they do not become detached from one another during the subsequent casting and installation of the parts.
- the parts are usually assembled here using an adhesive process, centering during assembly generally taking place by eye.
- Injection injector for metering fuel in an internal combustion engine advantageously has a head part and a foot part, between which a piezo element is clamped in the actuation direction. There is at least one centering body between the
- Piezo element and the head and / or foot part Piezo element and the head and / or foot part. Furthermore, a clamping arrangement is provided, which is arranged between the head and the foot part for clamping the piezo element. It is achieved with the arrangement according to the invention in a simple manner that the entire piezo actuator is centered with the head and foot part, as a result of which a one-sided measurement mechanical stress on the piezo element and thus on the entire piezo actuator is prevented and the durability of the piezo actuator is increased.
- the centering body is advantageously a cone, a truncated cone or a similar body which is held either on the piezo element or on the head and / or foot part and engages in a corresponding recess on the part opposite each other for the purpose of clamping. If, for example, a cone is present on the head part and on the foot part, then a corresponding trough or recess had to be produced on the corresponding counterpart, here the piezo element, so that the head and foot part are centered with the piezo element.
- the centering body is a ball or a similar body which engages in a corresponding recess on the piezo element and on the head and / or foot part for the purpose of clamping.
- a shaping cutter for example with a spherical head, can be used to produce the recesses or depressions on the head and / or foot part.
- the spherical profile can be taken into account when sintering the ceramic of the piezo element, or it can also be produced by re-milling or grinding.
- the tensioning element consists of at least two threads, each of which is attached with its ends to the head and foot part such that they clamp the piezo element in each case, preferably on opposite sides.
- the threads preferably nylon threads, should remain in place after assembly for reasons of stability.
- Another advantageous variant of the invention is to hold the head and foot parts together via a corrugated spring.
- This corrugated spring can be attached, for example by laser welding or by gluing to the head part and by hanging on the foot part.
- the electrical contacting of the piezo element can be done in a simple manner after assembly by means of two pins which stand vertically upwards.
- the centered piezo actuator can then be treated as a unit in the further assembly process.
- FIG. 1 shows a section and a cross section through a piezo actuator for actuating an injection injector for fuel metering in an internal combustion engine with two wave springs for clamping a piezo element and fixing the piezo actuator with two cones;
- FIG. 2 shows a section through a piezo actuator which, in deviation from FIG. 1, is provided with two threads for clamping the piezo element;
- FIG. 3 shows a section through a piezoelectric element which, in deviation from FIG. 1, is provided with two balls for fixing the piezoelectric element;
- FIG. 4 shows a detailed image of the head and foot part of the piezo actuator with cones for fixing
- FIG. 5 shows a detailed image of the head and foot part of the piezo actuator with balls for fixing
- FIG. 6 is a detailed picture of piezo element with cones for fixing
- Figure 7 is a detailed picture of piezo element with balls for fixation.
- the piezo actuator 1 shows a piezo actuator 1 with a piezo element 2, which is clamped between a head part 3 and a foot part 4.
- the piezo element 2 is constructed here from a quartz material with a suitable crystal structure, so that, using the so-called piezo effect when an external electrical voltage is applied, a mechanical reaction of the piezo element 2 takes place in the direction of the clamping.
- the arrangement according to FIG. 1 is clamped in with corrugated springs 5 and 6, which are welded, preferably laser-welded, at points 7 and 8 at the top of the head part 3 and are suspended below at corresponding devices 9 and 10.
- the piezo element 2 is clamped in the middle by means of centering bodies 11 and 12.
- the centering bodies here are cones 11 and 12, which are attached to the head and foot sections 3, 4 and engage m corresponding recesses or bores in the piezo element 2.
- the piezo element is clamped with nylon threads 13 and 13a, which are fastened to the head part 3 and the foot part 4, respectively.
- FIG. 3 shows an alternative exemplary embodiment of the centering with balls 14 and 15, in which the piezo element can also be clamped, for example, with nylon threads 13 and 13a, which are fastened to the head part 3 and the foot part 4 analogously to FIG.
- the balls 14 and 15 come here in the assembly of the piezo actuator 1 each in corresponding recesses in the head part 3, in the foot part 4 and in the piezo element 2.
- FIG. 4 shows a detailed picture of the head and foot parts 3 and 4 of the piezo actuator 1 with cones 11 and 12
- FIG. 5 shows a detailed picture of the head and foot parts 3 and 4 of the piezo actuator 1 with balls 14 and 15.

- FIG. 7 shows a corresponding detailed image of the piezo element 2 for an arrangement with balls 14 and 15 (FIG. 5) for fixing the piezo element 2.
